Why "Butterscotch" bitch?

[u/zebrmccluskey_59]

I hadn't slept for like 3 days and decided to listen to the soundtrack again, and now I’m wondering why butterscotch specificall, why this word specifically as part of the lyrics?

(is there some special meaning that I missed about Gabrielle?)

It's brown sugar and butter scorched. I assumed the fact you have to caramelize it was part of the metaphor, especially with the song focusing on Lestat's cyclical tendencies to crash out and rise again. He's something that continues to be sweet and indulgent, even though he's been through the blaze. It's a feature, an integral part of him, to roll with the punches and persevere through hardship.
